Amberlee Carter Poems

....shaving my legs to enya,
it makes me feel clean.
you've got free long distance-
you should visit more often.
...

(you know who you are)


pages of poetry scatter
...

the last leaves of autumn fell,
finding a grave in the imprint
of stranger's feet-
shallow as it was, they seemed content
...

Ok, so I'm sorry.
Isn't that what you wanted to know?
in that case, you win.
...

I’ve extracted you
from my body
like a sliver-
...

Because now
there is nothing more between us, except,
39 hours and 54 minutes that translates into:
distance
...

last night while I
played in another realm of consciousness,
I felt your hand move against mine,
as if you were reaching out
...

let me be nothing to you,
not a bell with a voice
...

This is
a death threat for no one,
a suicidal promise to someone,
a reaper's ransom note.
...

The quiet wait, contemplate,
the scene- everything it contains,
The mundane, the magic,
the vibrant, the apathetic-
...
